This document is sample brochure copy made available by “Hope Renewed,” a ministry of the Pregnancy Crisis Center of Wichita, Inc. It is a fill-in-the-blank model, not a finished brochure for Ramah International, and the original includes placeholders for a program name, phone number, and short attendee testimonies. Those testimony blanks are empty in the PDF; this summary does not add any.
The opening message is that abortion affects every life it touches, and that for many women and men the hurt lasts long after the choice is made. The copy says millions have chosen abortion as a “solution” to an unplanned pregnancy, then later face lingering emotional, psychological, and spiritual struggles. A time of relief and denial is described as normal. Feelings of sadness, depression, guilt, and unforgiveness of self or others are called typical, and the text notes that symptoms may not appear for years. The sample uses the terms “Post-Abortion Stress” and “Post-Abortion Syndrome” for this cluster of struggles.
The symptoms listed are anxiety; anger or irritability; difficulty concentrating; nightmares or sleeping disorders; bouts of crying; recurrent or intrusive thoughts about the abortion or the aborted child; intense grief; inability to maintain loving or trusting relationships; and drug or alcohol abuse, suicidal thoughts, or other self-destructive tendencies.
The program section, with the ministry name left blank, says abortion is often traumatic because people felt pressured or trapped, and it addresses denial, guilt, anger, forgiveness of others and self, and reconciliation with God. Four steps of restoration are listed: breaking through denial; working through guilt and experiencing God’s forgiveness; releasing anger and forgiving yourself or anyone else involved; and grieving the loss of the aborted child or children. The sample also outlines a post-abortion weekend recovery workshop (Friday evening through Sunday evening), one-on-one support using the “Forgiven and Set Free” Bible study for ten weeks, and a closing invitation to call, with Jeremiah 31:16–17.
The original PDF remains at its existing address and is unchanged.
